The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has condemned what it called “the ongoing smear campaign being carried out by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Organisation against the agency in trying to score political points against President Goodluck Jonathan”.

The agency has therefore asked the APC and its campaign organisation to withdraw their accusations that NIMASA had engaged in the sponsorship of hate campaign against the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, failing which it would resort to legal action.
